Hour 6

My book is getting so exciting that I missed my usual posting time. They're about to torch the leper's colony, I'll leave it at that. More munchies to hold us over until lunch. I'll write a quick book review when I get to the end.

Hour 5

I was reading tweets for a bit longer this hour so only 17 pages in 30 minutes. Sweet wife is back up and we've relocated to the den. Dogs are still sleeping, the pug has turned my wife into a bed. Well time to get back to it.

Hour 4

Now that's better, 32 pages in 45 minutes. My sweet wife needed a bit of a nap so it was a quiet hour. In fact it was enough to make a guy sleepy with her and our two dogs asleep. Of course I'm getting closer to the end of the book. Not positive who the killer is yet, but things are becoming clearer.

Hour 3

A quick snack and 20 more pages in 40 minutes of reading. Seems I'm stuck on a page every two minutes, oh well at least the pace of my book is picking up. My trusty pug Sadie is following me between the den and bed, though I'm sure she'd prefer I stay in one place so she can sleep. At the rate I'm going it will be 7 hours before I get onto my next book. I think I'd better focus.

Hour 2

Hour 2 complete and I picked up the pace a little bit. 22 pages in 40 minutes, still I'd like to improve on that. Technology is fighting me a bit as I tried to get a picture for a mini-challenge, but of course the phone battery is dead. Still I shall prevail, or at least continue to have fun.

Hour 1 in the books

One our down, after finally getting blog up and running I managed 15 pages in the 1/2 hour I read. I know I can do a bit better than that even if I am tired. I am currently about 1/2 way through The Leper's Return by Michael Jecks. A good read to be sure, but my real motivation is to get to my next book, the R.A. Salvatore that has been sitting on my shelf for way too long. Well ack to it. I'll aim for 45 minutes instead of 30 this hour.

October 2011 Readathon Begins

Hour 1, after some initial issues (like forgetting my blog password) I am up and running. I'm only 20 minutes late in starting to read so I'll keep this short.

1)Where are you reading from today? I'm reading from home (in particular the couch in my den to start)

2)Three random facts about me… I like to write, By day I'm a mild mannered accountant, I like comics, X-men specifically (I'll let you guess what genre I'm writing from those clues)

3)How many books do you have in your TBR pile for the next 24 hours? 3 to start, I guess, though there's always more on the shelf if I need them.

4)Do you have any goals for the read-a-thon (i.e. number of books, number of pages, number of hours, or number of comments on blogs)? Aside from lasting all 24 hours not really

5)If you’re a veteran read-a-thoner, any advice for people doing this for the first time? Other than change positions, nope, but that could be more of a me thing.
